In an unstable hybrid universe that incorporated both GoBots and Transformers, Hans-Cuff was aboard a Guardian shuttle bound for Earth when Megatron attacked and hijacked the ship. The Decepticons executed him while seizing the ship.

(Hans-Cuff only suffered this fate retroactively due to the machinations of Sideways and Gong. When the events actually took place in this hybrid timeline, it was an Autobot crew who were attacked by Renegades.) Echoes and Fragments

The fourth toy from the second wave of figures, Police Man was released by Bandai Australia in 1983. He remained identical to the original Police Robo toy, albeit packaged on a blue backing card.

In 1984, the figure was re-released with his GoBots name and faction on a new black backing card depicting a yellow-tinted alien landscape.

Friendly Robot

Hans-Cuff was released as part of the Australian-exclusive Staks Transport Collector Pack in 1985, alongside repaints of Turbo, Rest-Q, and Buggy Man. While his robotic features remained unchanged, the figure's vehicle mode was painted silver with a black sunroof. Later shipments replaced the figure with an unchanged Fitor.
